3.2.5 Procedure for setting input property mapping
You can set a service property and assign its value to an input property of a plug-in. For example, if you map Service property 1 to an input property, the input property stores the value of Service Property 1.
You can also enter a value directly into a plug-in property.
If the service template editing view is not displayed:
-
In the Life Cycle of a Service Template area of the Service Template Editor Home view, click Edit.
-
In the Service Template List window, select a service template and then click Edit.
To assign the value of a service property to an input property:
-
In the Steps view of the service template editing view, click the step whose definition information you want to change.
-
Click the Edit Step button.
-
In the Input Properties area of the Edit Step dialog box, select a plug-in property and then click Edit.
-
In the Specify Plug-in Input Properties for Mapping window, select the Select a Property from Service Properties option for the Input Method setting.
-
Select a service property in the Service Properties list, and then click OK.
The value of the selected service property can now be applied to the plug-in property.
To enter a property value directly:
